Hope this helps everyone understand the reward system. I got rid of this altogether in HYP because it wasn't my cup of tea.

Thanks presstab. I updated my previous post accordingly.

The ELI5 version (presstab, don't hesitate to correct me) is that the NVCS code is not smooth enough; it kicks in late and when it kicks in, it kicks hard and this hurts. HYP code is smoother, less painful to users.For people familiar with Monero and PoW, consider NVCS as block halving and HYP staking (we have to find a better name, press) is continous decrease.

Well its not really a NVCS problem, although I think NVCS is a flawed approach.

Ha ha I am not sure there is an ELI5 version of this, but the hard fork switched the bit-wise operations on bnProofofStakeLimit from rightshift 24 to rightshift 18. This is why the difficulty before the fork was something like 0.03 and did not trigger NVCS, and now the diff is 0.0025 - less diff, but NVCS still kicked in? Well the math changed so the diff from before is not very comparable to the current diff. It will be interesting to see this one play out.

We finally have a working TEK again. Of course, caution should be exercised.

0. Everywhere on this tutorial case matters, especially on Unix (Mac and Linux). "T" is not the same letter a "t".1. Backup your wallet (%appdata%/Teckcoin/wallet.dat on Windows, ~/.tekcoin/wallet.dat on Unix). Ideally two instances on two USB disks.2. Empty your wallet folder (%appdata%/Teckcoin on Windows, ~/.tekcoin on Unix - Mac and Linux)3. Copy your backup wallet on the now-empty folder (copy, not move - keep these backups!)4. In the same wallet folder, create a tekcoin.conf (if you're on Mac of Linux) or tekcoin.config (if you're on Windows) file with the following code:listen=0addnode=74.196.63.95addnode=75.90.67.140addnode=188.168.134.55addnode=159.205.243.208addnode=94.220.6.66addnode=69.181.230.66addnode=108.61.10.90addnode=62.116.254.204addnode=193.53.89.147addnode=98.162.248.8addnode=75.152.82.196If you are using notepad.exe, you will have to change the .txt extension to .conf. How to do this is beyond the scope of this tutorial[/tt].5. Download the latest wallet (see addresses on the OP - source https://github.com/maxxine/TEK - Windows http://www.mediafire.com/download/82390o41vsnwv5v/Tekcoin-qt-fix.zip - Mac https://www.dropbox.com/s/y17rjlji1ruxgsv/tekcoin-Qt-2.0.1.0-Mac.zip?dl=0For Linux users, until there is a binary available, you must manually change Makefile to remove this character string several times: mgw48- - this is an oversight, it will hopefully get fixed later on.Presently, the wallet includes neither the newer layout nor checkpoints.6. Run this command (you can ignore this step if you have a pre-forks backup at hand)

Code:

Tekcoin-qt.exe --salvagewallet

We assume you know how to open up a terminal ("DOS window").For Unix users, replace Tekcoin-qt.exe with Tekcoin-qt.it will redownload the whole blockchain, which is long but necessary, you'd better not just keep the old blockchain.You can know if you are on the correct blockchain by typing getinfo in the console or use the stats tab on new GUI. The correct chain is on block 510264For information, the repair wallet button on the GUI will only look to fill in missing pieces, whilst --salvagewallet will actually attempt to recreate your wallet. If you have coins stuck in unconfirmed even after using Repair wallet, use -rescan.

Note that, if you want to have something closer to the advertised 40%, you should WAIT before stacking, because of high competition (and thus, do not leave you wallet open more than for checking it works). Please note this is not an evidence that NVCS is really working as it should, only that under exceptional circumstances, it does sort work - but this is still not sure it works as intended. Presstab elaborated on this.

Generated coins must mature 30 blocks before they can be spent. When you generated this block, it was broadcast to the network to be added to the block chain. If it fails to get into the chain, its state will change to "not accepted" and it won't be spendable. This may occasionally happen if another node generates a block within a few seconds of yours.

I'm now at 410225. 80% of the blockchain.I'm connected to 3 peers, all on with version: 60007and "subver" : "/tekcoin:2.0.0/"

How it will sync in the right way now. Then I can check my different wallet.dat files.I stake for some friends as well. Some coins were at stake when the whole network got splitted.Hope things will work out fine this time

You mean block ended up orphaned? If so, stake used to generate it is back where it was before (stakepool) ready to be staked.
